A recent study shows that postcholecystectomy syndrome can be caused by biliary microlithiasis.
2.
Emphasis on testicular examination is the recommended follow up for asymptomatic men incidentally identified with testicular microlithiasis.
3.
Testicular microlithiasis is not associated with risk of testicular cancer in asymptomatic individuals with no risk factors for testicular germ cell tumor.
4.
Additionally, whether the presence of testicular microlithiasis should influence decision for adjuvant chemotherapy or surveillance in individuals with testicular germ cell tumor remains unclear.
5.
There is no cure or treatment for testicular microlithiasis, however, patients may be monitored via ultrasound to make sure that other conditions do not develop.
6.
There are many other conditions, such as testicular microlithiasis, epididymal cysts, and appendix testis ( hydatid of Morgagni ), which may be painful but are non-cancerous.
7.
There is extensive controversy over whether testicular microlithiasis in individuals with testicular germ cell tumor, or risk factors for such, should undergo testicular biopsy to exclude the presence of testicular carcinoma-in-situ, also known as intratubular germ cell neoplasia of unclassified type.
